Joel 2:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ “I will drive far away from you
    the army that comes from the north.
I will send some of its forces
    into a dry and empty land.
Its eastern troops will drown in the Dead Sea.
    Its western troops will drown in the Mediterranean Sea.
    Their dead bodies will stink.”

The Lord has done great things.
²¹     Land of Judah, don’t be afraid.
Be glad and full of joy.
    The Lord has done great things.
²² Wild animals, don’t be afraid.
    The desert grasslands are turning green again.
The trees are bearing their fruit.
    The vines and fig trees are producing rich crops.
